Y., Nov. | 12.—At a conference of the Big) Four today, the United States, | Great Britain and France joined Russia in a proposal to reduce the armed forces of those great pow- ers.

Maintenance of large armies, he added, eventually will result in bankruptcy or another war. i Byrnes of the United States, | Bevins of Great Britain and Bi- dault of France said that reduc-, tion of armed forces must be general as an assurance of a peaceful world.
